Chuba Hubbard vs Tyler Allgeier: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Chuba Hubbard and Tyler Allgeier is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.6 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Chuba Hubbard averaged 7.4 PPG with the Carolina Panthers across 15 games, and Tyler Allgeier posted 6.8 with the Atlanta Falcons in 17.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Chuba Hubbard ran for 511 yards and 1 touchdowns; Tyler Allgeier posted 514 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Chuba Hubbard has his bye in Week 5, and Tyler Allgeier rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
